Is it permissible to name a store that sells books, ornaments, and clothes "Salam Library" (Peace Library) with the intention of "global peace"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"As-Salam" is one of the names of Allah the Almighty, and it is a Muslim's greeting to his brother, supplicating for his well-being. Therefore, the library can be named "As-Salam" with a lawful intention, or any other good name can be chosen, for the consideration is the intention. It is better to intend what is known to be lawful and to abandon what causes doubt in your heart.
